the "WaShington Specials Are
Gotten Up for the Ex-GOvernOr's
Dakota Edition.
Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, Oct. 2S.-In the Dakota
edition of the Pioneer Press, Oct. 10,
there appeared telegram (?). purpOrt-
ing to come from Washington, stating
that there were ''rumOrS in the air of
possible change in the governorShip of
Dakota"
The GLOBE correspondent, desiring to
find out as to the truth of the statement,
interviewed Gov. Church in regard to
the matter. and he stated that he be-
lieved that Gilbert A. Pierce wrote the
alleged telegram, as he has been known
to do i'll several other cases. The writer
was of the same opinion, and so stated
to friend in Bismarck. The remark
reached the ears of Editor Pierce, who
at once sat down in his Office at Bis
marck and penned the following Squib,
which appeared in the Dakota edition of
the Pioneer Press, Oct. %:
One of the satellites that revolve around the
gubernatorial chair at Bismarck. in speaking
of the dispatch from Washington last Satur
day announcing that there was trouble brew
ing for Church. remarked. "0h. that's moth
ing, Pierce wrote that" If the information
which comes from Washington just now is TO
be relied on. he will find that there are a
number of things down there which Pierce
did not write, but which promise to give his
dreamed of. Wait and see.
The information" which Mr.. Pierce
refers to in this heavy editorial is an
other telegram, dated at Washington
Oct. q, and is therefore supposed to
hove been telegraphed to the Pioneer
Press on Friday evening. 1t goes on to
state that ''charges have been filed
against Gov. Church, etc.
All of Mr.. Pierce's editorial matter
was written in Bismarck last week, and
necessarily had to be mailed east on
Thursday in order to reach st. Paul in
time for the Dakota edition on Satur-
day.
Now your correspondent desires to
ask the ex-governor if he did not write
the second telegram, how he knew of iIS
contents in time to make editorial COM
ment, when, as matter of fact, he was
i'll Bismarck nearly all of last week? 1t
must be remembered that the telegram
is dated Oct. 81, and his editorial COM
ment could not possibly have been writ
ten later than Oct. 10.
The Pioneer Press either submits all
of its kilograms to Editor Pierce at Bis
marck, for his approval, or he writes
them in his office in this city and dates
them at Washington. The latter prop
Ositlon certainly seems the most feasi-
BILE in this case. The ex-governor is be-
coming quite an expert at the business,
however, and much better efforts are
expected regarding Gov. Church and
his removal in the next issue of the
Pioneer Press. Watch and see.
AT WASHINGTON.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-There is a
rumOr bureau running smoothly along,
and it keeps people busy chasing its
well-built clippers. One of the latest
was to the effect that Gov. Church is
about to be removed. Conversations
with various officials, who would know,
and who would probably tell at least
something of the matter if it were true,
elieits nothing but absolute denials of
the allegation. The fact is, Gov. Church
seems to stand SO well, and have such
power here at headquarters, that he ap-
pears to be a fixture in the body polite
of the territory.
